Upon hearing this, Chen Guo’s face suddenly lit up with a smile, “Sister, just tell me. Actually, I made some mistakes in the last exam too. Otherwise, I estimated that I could have been in the top fifty in the grade!”

“Come on, you were more than twenty points away from the top fifty!” Mei Jing ruthlessly exposed her.

Chen Guo’s face turned bright red, and she stared at him with a grievance, “That’s because I made some mistakes in a few multiple-choice questions! I won’t make the same mistakes next time!”

Mei Jing rolled his eyes dismissively, “Those questions you clearly didn’t know. I asked you afterward, and you couldn’t explain them clearly!”

“Xiao Jing!” Mei Shu playfully interrupted her brother.

His thoughts were too straightforward. Didn’t he see that the girl was a bit embarrassed?

Hearing Mei Jing’s words, Chen Guo became even more angry, “But I am still fourth in the class! Just wait, next time I will definitely be in the top three in the class!”

After saying that, she stubbornly redirected the topic back to Mei Shu as if to vent her anger, “Sister, so what was your ranking in the last exam at No. 1 High School? I have a cousin who also attends that school. He’s in his senior year; you might know him!”

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow, “Is my grade so important?”

Seeing Mei Shu deliberately withholding the information, Chen Guo thought that Mei Shu might be embarrassed to admit that her grades were not as good as hers. Therefore, she became more urgent in her questioning.

Even Chen Feng on the side noticed something unusual. He quickly stepped forward to stop his daughter, “Guoguo, don’t be rude to Miss. Just sit down and focus on your homework. Dad will go buy some fruit for you.”

“No!” Chen Guo shook off Chen Feng’s hand.

What she disliked the most was Chen Feng’s submissive attitude, without any dignity.

Originally, she was willing to meet him just to take advantage of the fact that he worked for the Mei family. It would give her a chance to learn more about Mei Jing and spend some time alone with him.

But with Chen Feng acting like this, she felt like she was being dragged down, being labeled as the daughter of a servant!

She couldn’t bear the shame!

Now, she couldn’t lose face in front of so many people. She had to force Mei Shu to reveal her grades so everyone would know that even if Mei Shu had money, her grades were far superior.

In the end, Mei Jing would only come to her if he needed help with his studies. He wouldn’t need to ask Mei Shu!

After all, she still wanted to prove her superiority through her grades. Besides, she had already said that she knew people at No. 1 High School. Mei Shu wouldn’t dare to lie to her.

“Alright, don’t argue. This is just a small matter, and my grades really aren’t that big of a deal.” Mei Shu, seeing that the situation was getting intense, slowly picked up her teacup, paused, and continued, “Actually, I only made a few mistakes, and I was almost the top student in the grade.”

“What?” Chen Guo didn’t react for a moment, staying stunned for a while before muttering, “So, you’re second in the grade? No way? I heard that the top student in the senior year at No. 1 High School is a genius. You’re really only a few points away from him?”

Chen Guo obviously didn’t believe Mei Shu’s words, thinking that she was bragging. There was a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth, “Sister, I know you want to set a good example for your younger brothers, but lying is not right. Ah Jing also hates people who lie, so you should be honest and tell us your real grades.”

This statement made Mei Jing frown, “My sister didn’t lie. She is second in the grade, only less than ten points behind the student you mentioned.”

With this statement, Chen Guo felt as if thunder had suddenly struck her head.

The entire living room fell silent, and everyone’s doubtful and unsatisfied gazes were fixed on her.

Chen Feng couldn’t help but mediate. “Missy’s results have always been very good. Guoguo, you have to learn from Missy. This is a great opportunity that others can’t get!”

As he spoke, he winked at Chen Guo.

Unfortunately, Chen Guo, who was now in no mood to respond to him, didn’t even look at this well-intentioned father. Instead, she glared at Mei Shu fiercely, “So, you deliberately mentioned your mistakes and not doing well on the exam earlier. Were you showing off to me?”

“Guoguo!” Chen Feng scolded his daughter for the first time.

Miss was their benefactor. How could she speak to Miss in such a way?

Mei Shu admitted that she did it on purpose.

She just wanted to tear off Chen Guo’s mask and let her brother see Chen Guo’s true colors.

Chen Guo also quickly reacted. Even her hands and feet were cold. “I’m sorry. I was just too excited just now. It’s the first time I’ve spoken to a top student up close, so I didn’t control my emotions. Sister, don’t take it to heart. Please don’t drive me away. I still want to come and see Father often in the future!”

Seeing this, Chen Feng hurriedly pleaded with Mei Shu, “Miss, Guoguo just misspoke. She and Young Master Jing are classmates. She must respect you very much. Don’t lower yourself to her level..”
